Pressure Cooker Steel Cut Oats

Serves 2 in about 27 minutes. The pot starts with tsp vanilla, then tsp cinnamon.

Ingredients

• ½ cup steel cut oats* regular, not the quick type.
• 1 ¼ cup water
• 1 tsp butter
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ¼ cup raisins
• ½ chopped apple
• ½ tsp cinnamon

Method

1. Tip in all ingredients to the pressure cooker and stir.
2. Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
3. Press the Pressure Cook (or Manual) button, then the +/- button to select 10 minutes.
4. After cooking cycle ends, let naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. Leave it to sit for 12 minutes for a bit creamier result.
5. Tip in 2 Tbsp butter to the pot on Sauté mode and brown the dry oats for a few minutes prior to pressure cooking them. Proceed by adding the liquid and other ingredients and pressure cooking after toasting/browning. This brings out a nutty flavor that many people really like!
6. Stir in oatmeal, water, salt, and any other ingredients to an oven safe stainless steel or baking dish/bowl.
7. Tip in one cup of water to the pressure cooker's inner liner.
8. Set the trivet or rack that came with the pot in the inner liner (if you don't have that one, use a rack without tall legs as the bowl may sit up too high).
9. Set the bowl of oats on the rack (You may need to use a sling to do this if your dish or rack doesn't have handles). Leave bowl uncovered.
10. Close the lid of the pressure cooker and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
11. Press the Manual (or Pressure Cook) button, then the + or - button to select 10 minutes.
12. After cooking cycle ends, let naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. Leave it to sit for 12 minutes for a bit creamier result.
